    The high fat, high protein diet discussed is a paleo or 'ipaleo' diet/lifestyle. Suggesting paleao and endurance dsports go hand in hand if you're 'fat adapted'...

    AFAIK exponents of the paleo diet would be more extreme. Stripping out all processed 'modern' foodstuffs, and would replicate the kind of diet we would have achieved through principally hunting and gathering.

    Barry seems to base loosely around the principles and looks at it from an athletes viewpoint. Also lots of common sense applied to his teaching.

    Tried it for a week in 2011. Became the moodiest man alive. Life is too short. Cavemen ate like that because they had to. I'm sure given the choice between beans on toast and hunting something ferocious they may take the easier option!
